Thanks for the tip these look great and appear easy to manufacture. One of the few shortcomings of the WNW kits is the mysterious lack of spark plugs and I don't like the idea of having to buy a set from Taurus Models every time I build up an engine.

Cheers

Hi Dave ,

Yes the spark plugs are easy to make with the tubing and the VectorCut nuts you can make lots of spark plugs in an evening . I still like the Taurus Models spark plugs ,but if they are hidden then you are better off making your own . As you can see I put the cowling together and not too much of the engine can be seen .

I started work on the interior of the Sopwith by adding bracing wire and adding the pulley for the elevator control .

The only addition to the IP is decals and clear rod to the pulsameter (lower left ) .

The decals are from the 1/48th Airscale WW1 set . I always thought they where to big for 1/48th !

Well this is not the nice WNW`s kit , but I`m doing the best I can with the Roden kit . I made the resin seat cushion and put the IP panel into the A/C today . I`m just waiting for the seat belts I ordered to arrive in the mail.
